It just dawned on me

[I_UndergroundPanther]

Republicans are seperating the gains and losses in thier stock market from the realities of living under capitalism.

As in they are rigging the market to show positive gains as people lose jobs,go bankrupt and can't pay bills.

Basically divorcing the stock market from reality.

Using junk bonds and other financial games and
Obscure money instruments and inventions to play with the massive casino and pyramid scam that the market is.

And that way they can pretend the market is soaring in a economic disaster.

1. You mean more than usual?

That observation first dawned on me some 40 years ago, when I was in high school. Reagan's tax breaks mostly went into Mergermania rather than the reinvestment in new plant and modernized facilities, which was a main selling point.

4. Yeah about 40 years ago I saw it happening

But now it's almost completely seperated from reality.

When the 3M indicator was shut down and ceased reporting under bush it really pointed at what scams are going on here now. Now I can see the incremental shit that has led to this.

In other words as an economic indicator it's
completely useless now.

The word has got to get out about how useless it is the casino,pyramid scam/ fraud it is.
And why it is.

People need to know.

8. This is why Mitch

Can get away not helping us poor folks survive.

The market gives rewards for failure now.
Just like bigoted evil greedy liar republicans like it,because republicans are failures at being human beings.

9. Who's boog?

I just observe it as a hobby because I can. I do not have any ability to invest anything in the grande scam.

It's a weapon now.

[TEB]

14. Nah

But the nice lady at the restaurant bringing our takeout said boog was fat. I said easy lady he’s lost 22 pounds he has a dream to be huge so don’t remind him he’s on diet. He down to 84 pounds call PETA

[kentuck]

7. We are watching the demise of American capitalism.

In my opinion.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

10. Maybe it's time

To do something better than create a scam that profits from misery,trauma, extraction ,killing nature, and destruction and poverty .

19. I have one word for you: SHORT

[Sogo]

23. Haven't we seen this movie before? nt

20. Meanwhile they say Social Security is going broke. n/t

[Lonestarblue]

21. The FED is what is propping up the market.

The FED has always been independent, but I must say I have some suspicions of it these days. Four of the five governors are Republicans. There should be seven, but two positions are vacant. Trump appointed all four of the Republicans. I have to wonder whether they are goosing the market to help his re-election. I know they need to provide money to avoid a depression, but the market these days is totally divorced from what is happening with unemployment and reduced demand in this country.

[I_UndergroundPanther]

22. Yes it is divorced from reality

I think that was planned over many years by the rich and republicans over decades. They planned and designed the market to be divorced from reality.

[Sogo]

24. I don't know that they planned it as much as

that's just how they operate in life.

The rich get richer, and the poor get offspring....

25. Lol never heard that version

Of that saying.. hehe
